As much as some of us dislike conflict, it is inherent in human nature. After all, it is like a wall that keeps us from moving forward in the path of life, but we must understand that those walls merely act as temporary challenges that are yet to be solved. Some conflicts may be insignificantly trivial, and some may be quite immense. Some conflicts may be happening within ourselves, and some may be accompanied by another person. Regardless, we must learn not to run away from conflict, but rather to run over them with a determined demeanor as the conflicts that we encounter in our lives are what helps us learn and grow as an individual. Furthermore, learning and growing from conflict is what shape individuals and what prepares us for the upcoming challenges that life will throw at us in the future.

Anne died in Bergen- Belsen, and Leib lost his two older brothers Tsalig and Hershel. If they didn’t have an positive attitude, Anne Frank wouldn’t have her diary published and Leib (Leon) wouldn’t of ever wrote a book. Anne Frank inspired many young people that read her diary today, and she writes in a way that you believe that you are in the situation with her and her family. Both Leib and Anne Frank's legacy lives on today, people might not be able to relate to the traumatic event, but they feel as if they were there because of the inspiration and spirit in their book or diary.

What do we do when we face conflict? we either run away from it, or turn to violence. Conflict usually starts as a crucial conversation that was communicated poorly. Sure, we can blame our genetic makeup for our emotions as we are hardwired to come into conflict with one another. Wynne Perry of Live Science interviewed anthropology researcher, Christopher Boehm of the University of Southern California who shed light on the issue” The genes are still making us do the same old things, which include quite a bit of conflict.” However, Boehm has some good news” Culture has given us solutions at various levels”. So, what is a crucial conversation? And, how can we handle it?
In the 1930’s, the Nazis gathered and killed millions of Jews. One of the Jews affected was Anne Frank. She and her family hid from the Nazis for over two years in an attic over an office building. During that time, she recorded all her thoughts and experiences in a diary. One of the most famous quotes written in her diary is, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” Some may not feel this quote is accurate, but I agree with this statement because even in the most difficult of situations, people are often trying to do what is right and just.

Managing conflict is a difficult task that we all face, but becoming aware of your own characteristic style could help determine why conflicts result exactly the way they do. It helps determine what is a healthy outcome. Each circumstance is different.
Conflict is energy, conflict is excitement, conflict is often driven by a passion that is necessary to progression. In other words, we need many of the characteristics that might cause conflict and conflict itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The important thing is learning how to manage
This elasticity in your approach to choosing which conflict style is best for the current situation is a key to managing conflict. No one style of conflict resolution will work all the time when addressing issues. You must remain flexible to other people’s wants, needs, direction, criticism, schedules, moods, temperament, and a myriad of other things in life. If there is one thing in life that will never change it is the fact that everything is going to change! There is nothing you can do to stop it, so the quicker you learn how to adapt to the changes the better off you will be. The ability to change your approach to dealing with conflict better prepares you to face the interpersonal challenges that will eventually come your way. I believe it is important to also remember that you cannot win every battle with every person you encounter.
